  Dr. Matthes has done both of my knee replacements and both turned out wonderful. I was so happy, now that I am having some hip issues, that his specialty includes hips. I am confident in his excellent care.

  I've always had a great experience when going to Iowa Ortho. Everyone is so nice even though they are doing their jobs. Dr.Matthes is one who explains things to you in terms that you can understand. I would recommend Iowa Ortho and Dr Matthes in a heartbeat

• Just as everyone is saying. He is very professional and mild mannered. He takes time to listen to concerns and answers any questions. This was my second knee replacement after having the first done four years ago and the right hip 17 years ago. He’s my go-to doctor. This surgery went better than the last one. Very good care all around.
